The clay sculpture of the 45th president is at present just Trump's head, with the body to follow.

Work on finishing it began in earnest this morning as soon as the result was known.

But unusually, it's not the first time for either candidate.

Indeed, this is the first time in Madame Tussauds’ history that both presidential candidates have already had wax figures made of them – with Hillary Clinton 's (in 2006) and Donald Trump's (in 1997) both currently on show in the US.

Before the result was in, the general manager of Madame Tussauds London Edward Fuller said: "It’s certainly an interesting time for us to be making a figure of a new President of the United States.

“To ensure it is ready in time for Inauguration Day next year, the talented studios team have created two clay sculpts ready to make the winning candidate as soon as the results are in.”

The Madame Tussauds exhibitions in New York, Orlando, and Washington DC are also understood to be working on creating their own waxworks of Donald Trump asap.
